INTRODUCTION: Vaginal reconstruction using the posterior vaginal wall is required following radical cystectomy in women with resection of the uterus, adnexa, and anterior vaginal wall. Roll closure and clamshell closure are two widely known technique...
BACKGROUND: Aim of the current study is to describe our technique of hydrodissection (HD) of the retroprostatic space (RPS) performed between the Denonvillier's fascia (DF) and prostatic capsule (PC) and to evaluate its impact on the outcomes of nerv...
BACKGROUND: Improved cancer control with increasing surgical experience-the learning curve-was demonstrated for open and laparoscopic prostatectomy. In a prior single-center study, we found that this might not be the case for robot-assisted radical p...
Population aging and pandemics have been shown to cause the isolation of elderly people in their houses, generating the need for a reliable assistive figure. Robotic assistants are the new frontier of innovation for domestic welfare, and elderly moni...
As the end execution tool of agricultural robots, the manipulator directly determines whether the grasping task can be successfully completed. The human hand can adapt to various objects and achieve stable grasping, which is the highest goal for mani...
This investigation presents a novel soft-robotic pneumatic gripper that consists of three newly proposed soft actuators. The newly proposed soft actuators adopt a composite structure of two kinds of pneumatic networks which can work independently and...
This study was to show the impact of 'prostate-muscle index (PMI)', which we developed as a novel pelvic cavity measurement, in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We defined PMI as the 'distance between the inner edge of...
The interpretation of conventional MRI may be limited by the two-dimensional presentation of the images. To develop patient-specific MRI prostate-based virtual and three-dimensional (3D)-printed models. To assess the association between 3D imaging an...

In medical surgery, bone drilling is an inevitable procedure. The thermal necrosis in the drilling process can affect post-operative recovery. In this study, the method of drill bit precooling is proposed in bone drilling with robot assisted system. ...
In the field of sinus and ear surgery, and more generally in microsurgery, the surgeon is faced with several challenges. The operations are traditionally carried out under binocular loupes, which allows for the surgeon to use both hands for a microin...
